Sticky Sunday fun

[Pocster]

I always treat Sunday as a “ do simple diy tasks “ on the build .

Remove that tape that’s been on the window frames for x years .

 

Will it come off ?

 

Will it (expletive deleted)

 

wd 40 , etc etc 

 

Its plastic tape that’s seems to have broken down and just comes off in tiny pieces - no big long satisfying strip that pulls off

 

Last resort . Outside with swmbo’s hairdryer on it . It works . But that section has taken me 30 minutes .

 

At least the sound of the hair dryer blocks out my swearing …

Try methylated spirit.

Might not get the adhesive off, but you can drink it like a Montpellier bum.

At least I got a warm blow, dry .

Try asking the window supplier, I reckon they get this problem a lot and may have a solution.....which is a solution....

 

See what I did there?
